ent, Clerk Speer at his desk. In attendance
there were Willard Bennett and Messrs.
Haldorn & Mcbride. Mr.. Loeber reported
from the Committee on Streets and Alleys
that notice had been given Mr.. Hamilton
to remove the steps from the side OF his
building on Utah and Broadway to the
rear, which has not yet been obeyed. He
protested against the privilege gwen Mr..
Uwsley to retain the sidewalk at the cor
ner OF Park and Main from being raised to
grade. Discussion q continued on the
subject OF the Hamilton stairway, but no
result reached. A petition was presented
from residents ON West Quartz street fer
an electric light on Quartz and Montana:
another from the Butte Street Railway
Company to be permitted to use the
EXHAUST LOCOMOTIVE

city. The petition for electric light was
referred to the Committee OF Light. Mr..

Meaderville had proved heavier than they

May %, 1920. With his parents he removed in
1899 to Louisville, Ky. In 1888 his father started
down the Ohio river with his family, proposing to
settle in Wisconsin. The boat caught fire. and his
Scanty furniture ana clothing were burned. Young
Eads barely escaped ashore with his pantaloons,
shirt and cap. Taking passage on another boat,
this boy OF thirteen landed at st. Louis with
shore of the city the very spot where he AFTER
wards located and built the bridge over the
Mississippi. From 10 l3 he attended school, after
which, from necessity, he was placed clerk in "A

old bachelor, and, having observed the tastes OF
hts clerk, gave him the FIRST book on engineering.

Of Sunken property, business which, under his

was able to retire with fortune. At the out
break OF the civil in 1851 he submitted TO the gov

Law Only for the Rich.


HORRORS OF ORGANIZED IN IRELAND.
A sensation has been caused I'm London by the
publication OF Gen. Sir RedverS Buffers evidence
before the land commission. Gen. Butler testified
that what law there was In counties Kerry, Glare,
and Cork was on the side OF the rich, and he ex-
pressed the opinion that 1t would be serious mat
ter, with their grievances unredressed, 10 attempt
to suppress by force the tenants right to openly
associate for the protection OF their interests. A
majority OF the tenants, he said struggled to pay
their rents, and where they could did pay; but in
great many the rents were too high and such
as the tenants could not pay. He said there would
never be peace in Ireland until there had been es-
tablished a court having strong coercive powers
over bad landlords and protective powers over poor
tenants.
The Pail Mall Gazette declares that the facts
atteSted by Gen. Butler come like a flash or vivid
lightning, revealing the naked horrors OF organ
lied injustice in Ireland. IL says 'no crime which
the moonlighters or dynamters can commit will
be comparable 10 the criminality of giving an
other days grace to the foul fabric OF legallZed
wrong erected on Irish sofia fabric which the
tories now seek TO buttreSs by further miSdeeds."

THE SALVATION ARMY.
Scenes at the Salvation Temple-Hear.
ing the Experiences Of Recruits.

Last night between seven and eight O'clock the
Salvation Army marched along Pennsylvania ave-
nue. singing salvation songs and marched TO the
open space at It'll street and Pennsylva avenue,
where an open-air Meeting was held. number
OF converts told the story of their conversion and
at eight O'Clock the army marched to salvation
temple. The temple was decorated with flags and
bunting. On the walls hung number OF notices,
such as: 'sAfter death the Judgment" and
"Death is at hand" Near the door is posted
printed notice for the benefit OF the boys, notify
ing them that 1t is against the rules to leave
ter the temple except during singing.
Captain Graves, who, with her lieutenant, has
charge OF this corps, before reading from the
scriptures said She hardly thought il necessary to
ask crowd OF gentlemen and ladies in a civilized
land to respect the word OF God, and behave them
selves while IT is being read. So far herself was
concerned she was getting used to being fnSulted
did hurt her. but 1t did hurt her to hear persons
laugh and scOn at the word OF God. The captains
lecture had the desired effect and during the read
ing Of tine scripture not whisper could be heard.
A middle-aged man seated on the platform arose
and said that much to his surprise, he found him.
self in the Salvation army. Last Tuesday night,
he said, while under the influence OF liquor he en-
tered the Salvation army temple, and before the
meeting was over he went to the front and was
converted.
Another man said that last Sunday, when he
came to the door OF the temple, one of the officers
told him the admission was five cents, but he was
not worth cent, and he started away. The Off
Ger, he Said was charitable, and told him to come
in. He entered, and tonight he found himself in
different circumstances. He not only had money
in his pocket, but felt that he had salvation.
In one corner Of the room sat a young girl who
was talking to several boys. An old man who sat
near them spoke to the boys about talking in the
meeting. but the boys talked all the more and
then quarrel followed between the old man, who
appeared to be under the influence OF liquor, and
the boys. Presently something fell to the floor,
making loud noise, and one OF the boys kicked it
under the bench. The special officer walked over
to see what the trouble was and one OF the boys
picked up the fallen missile. 1t proved to be a
bottle OF whisky. The intoxicated man put the
bottle In his pocket, and the trouble between him.

The New York Sam says: The long delayed
ocean race from New York TO Cork harbor for a
sweepstakes OF 10000 between Mt. Caldwell III.
Colts historic schooner yacht Dauntless and Mr..
r. T. Bush's stately Coronet will be started, IL
there is westerly wind, at 1 O'Clock tomorrow
afternoon. The yacht that crosses the finish line
first will win the 10000 The racers will probably
be heard from frequently during their long jour-
ney. Incoming vessels will give the expectant
Yankee nation a rough idea OF the yachts respect
i've positions on certain days. The Dauntless win
burn at night a blue signal light and the Coronet
red light in addition to the night signal OF the
New York Yacht club-red, green and white The
poStponement OF the race until saturday was
mainly due 10 Mr.. Beecher's death. Mr.. r. T..
Bush, the owner OF the Coronet, is a member
OF Plymouth church, and was warm friend
and admirer OF the dead preacher Naturally,
he did not want the race stared on the day
OF his pastors burial. The Coronet, her down-east
skipper says, will surely be ready on saturday.
Probably no racing sailing craft ever went out OF
our harbOr with such amplitude OF canvas They
are as well prepared, with their numerous bon
neted sails, for hurricanes and head gales as they
are for a stiff wind aStern or only gentle breeze.
The Coronet's navigator, j. b. Z. Anderson, has
been busy studying the recently published n.y.
geographic chart and the logs OF all incoming
steamships and sailing craft for the last two weeks.
He says he will not attempt TO make a short cut
by taking high northerly course. He will keep

son thinks, go to the bottom mighty quickly. Capt.
Sanuels will, IL is said, take the risks or high
northerly course, including the possibility OF hav-
Ing TO turn back because OF the heavy ice.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE START
The New York World says: Mr.. Peabody, OF the
regatta committee, gave some information con-
corning the committees arrangements for the
start, as follows:
'The terms OF the start are that the committees
boat shall be anchored Off Owls Head, abreast OF
buoy No. 10, between noon and O'Clock on Satur-
day. The boat will give long preparatory whis-
tie and lower the club pennant which will be fly
ing at the fore. Ten minutes later there Will be
second whistle given and the club pennant Will be
hoiSted. This will be the signal 10 start and the
yachts will cross the line between the committee
boat and the Long Island Shore"
Mr.. Peabody further stated that he had seen Mr..
Bush, representing Mr.. Colt, and il mad been mu-
tually agreed that any difference In the time OF
starting between the two boats should not he con-
Sidered in the race The committee will signal as
stated. After that the yacht which first crosses
the ROche'S Point line on the other side will be
the winner or the race.

Fight i'm a Menagerie.

ELEPHANT, PONY AND LEOPARD IN THREE-CoRN
Erred COMBAT.
There was a fight between an elephant and a
leopard Monday night at the winter quarters OF
old John Robinson's menagerfe In Cincinnati. A
miserable little Mexican pony caused the whole
trouble. The pony was free, and It found amuse-
ment in prancing about the big captive elephant.
The elephant reached for the pony with his trunk
but could not get him until the pony was begu1led
into a corner at short range. Then the elephant,
with an angry believing, seized the small animal
and dashed him against the leOpard'S cage. The
force OF the blow bent the bars OF the cage, and
the leopard Sprang to the ground and buried It's
claws and teeth in the flesh or the half-dead pony.
The elephant forgiving and forgetting the trrtta-
ton which the good humOred pony had caused
him. turned to defend the PROSTATE beast from the
fury OF the leopard, and with his swinging trunk
he struck the leopard such blow on the head as
ought TO have stunned it. The snaxnng leopard
turned on the elephant, and prepared 10 spring.
The elephant didn't wait, but selling the leopard
in his trunk as he had seized the pony, he threw
the savage beast against the wall OF the stable.
One of the paws OF the leopard was crushed, and
so was his Spirit. He crouched down to nurse his
wounded foot, and meanwhile keepers seized his
tail through doorway and captured him. The
DOny will die.

are entrusted to knights in other lines of business
